Liked: we stayed last night and had a wonderful time it's truly a special spot not over crowed, and felt like we was properly wild camping, we travel quite along way and it honestly was worth it 100% , we will be back in the future, so much to do with not to far of a drive from the campsite. The views were specular and the firepits provided are a super nice touch and the bags of logs you can get

Liked: Excellent site in a beautiful location! Small, quiet site with plenty of woodland to explore and loved that we could use a fire. Compost toilet was actually one of the more pleasant campsite loos we've had. Owners more than happy to answer our questions. We will definitely be returning!

Liked: Peaceful campsite with plenty of space. A real close to nature experience. The toilet is one of the nicest, cleanest long drop toilets I’ve ever used! Fire pits were lovely and wood was available to purchase on site. Loved the little honesty shop as well. All in all we had a great night staying here

Over the woods bell tent
Liked: Very peaceful, beautiful meadow and woods. Small site which very much suited us. Our son (3) loved exploring & looking at all the flowers, butterflies and grasshoppers. Fire pits and logs available and spacious, clean compost loo / bathroom with toilet roll & soap provided. We were only able to stay one night so chose the bell tent as its pre pitched. The mattress provided in there was comfy. Thanks for a great stay! We hope to come back.
Disliked: No dislikes! The addition of running water will useful for a longer stay, but this is a new site so hopefully something for a future stay.

Liked: There was shed that had a few supplies, such as cups, fire pits and emergency water. The compost toilet was in a shed that had a sink, with toilet roll and bottled water and soap available to wash hands.
This was my first time camping as an adult and I had my 4 and 8 year old. I was worried I didn't bring enough of what I needed but was impressed as to what was available. There was also plenty of room for the kids to play around. Beautiful place for sunsets also.
